Prince Michael of Kent was so chummy with exiled Russian oligarch Boris Berezovsky that he managed to secure half a million dollars in payments over the years.
Both the Prince and his Russian benefactor stressed the payments, some $514,320 in total, were “conducted properly” and privately between the “good friends.”
Berezovsky told The Sunday Times “there is nothing underhand or improper about the financial assistance I have given Prince Michael. It is a matter between friends.”
A representative for the prince also insists all taxes were paid. However, no information was forthcoming on what the money was spent on and why it was needed.The daily reported that Berezovsky had channeled the money to the prince through offshore companies some 56 times between 2002 and 2008.
Details of the financial support Michael received were disclosed in documents ahead of an upcoming trial. Berezovsky is suing the family of a deceased Georgian business partner for £2billion.
The case comes on the heels of another high-profile, £3.5billion legal battle between Berezovsky and fellow Russian businessman Roman Abramovich.
Moscow has issued multiple arrest warrants for the self-exiled tycoon after he was convicted in absentia for embezzling $8.8 million from the Russian airline company Aeroflot. The United Kingdom granted Berezovsky political asylum in 2003. The UK’s subsequent refusals to extradite him following his 2007 conviction have remained a major diplomatic sticking point between the two countries.

Michael is the queen’s first cousin and is distantly related to Tsar Nicholas II. He also speaks fluent Russian and is considered to be a close friend of Berezovsky.
The pair have known each other since the early 90s, with the prince’s spokesman claiming Berezovsky holds the “prince’s work” in high esteem.
The prince’s financial woes have been well documented in the British press. Apart from Berezovsky, he has also received considerable financial assistance from the Queen._________________www.lawyerscommitteefor9-11inquiry.orgwww.rethink911.orgwww.patriotsquestion911.comwww.actorsandartistsfor911truth.orgwww.mediafor911truth.orgwww.pilotsfor911truth.orgwww.mp911truth.orgwww.ae911truth.orgwww.rl911truth.orgwww.stj911.orgwww.v911t.orgwww.thisweek.org.ukwww.abolishwar.org.ukwww.elementary.org.ukwww.radio4all.net/index.php/contributor/2149http://utangente.free.fr/2003/media2003.pdf

Boris Berezovsky was killed in his bathroom because he was preparing to give Vladimir Putin evidence of a plot involving leading oligarchs to topple the strongman in a coup, it was claimed today.
The exiled Russian tycoon was slain by Western secret services linked to the plan to overthrow the Kremlin leader.
The theory comes from Berezovsky's former long-time head of security Sergei Sokolov, who disputed the version of British police that the ex-billionaire took his own life, aged 67, in Berkshire in March 2013.

'I am convinced it was done by the Western secret services,' he said.
'If Berezovsky's death is a puzzle for you, it is a problem solved for me. Boris was killed simply because he possessed certain secret information and was going to make it public. This is not just my guess, I know it for sure.'
Sokolov, the head of a major Moscow private security agency, said his ex-boss was intent on returning to Russia, and had opened negotiations with Putin on allowing him back despite years of bitter opposition to the president.
'Boris forwarded Vladimir Putin a letter with repentance,' he said.

'It was a part of the big venture he had been planning. Berezovsky was living and looking forward to his return to Russia. Of course, he was hoping for indulgence.
'Boris was killed only because he possessed information which he was going to share with Putin.
'I am absolutely sure that Boris had video and audio evidence about certain oligarchs who offered to organise a coup in the country, promising him to be seen as being at the head of the attack.
'Berezovsky planned to come back to his motherland with this sensational material.
'You understand it now: those people he had gathered compromising materials for, considered him to be a serious threat.'
Berezovsky - who had a penchant for secretly recording conversations - had hidden his treasure trove, claimed Sokolov.

RUSSIAN tycoon Boris Berezovsky was assassinated by British spies after threatening to expose photographs dubbed “royal porn” allegedly featuring a young Prince Philip, a Moscow espionage author has sensationally claimed.

The pictures, said to show the Duke of Edinburgh at Thursday Club parties, were rumoured to have been taken by his photographer friend Baron Nahum in the 1950s.

The private photographs are thought to have been secretly copied by a Soviet spy, who then smuggled them back to Russia during the Cold War.

Russian intelligence expert Gennady Sokolov has now made the startling claims there was evidence that the one-time billionaire Berezovsky had managed to come into possession of the controversial photographs taken by spy Yevgeny Ivanov.

He claimed Berezovsky had likely handed the photographs to the British authorities, so in theory taking them out of circulation and preventing the risk of an humiliating publication, as part of his successful effort to gain political asylum in Britain, so avoiding jail time in Russia.

He was widely rumoured to have been assassinated by Pro-Putin Russian hitmen but these claims that British secret service agents may have been behind the killing would dispute the theory.

Berezovsky, a former billionaire and fierce critic Vladimir Putin, died in unexplained circumstances in March 2013 amid suggestions he had been seeking the Kremlin leader’s forgiveness.

A post-mortem examination found there was no signs of a violent struggle but the coroner recorded an open verdict as theories that shadowy Russian or British forces could have killed him continued to circulate.

But Sokolov has now claimed the tycoon may have secretly kept copies which – just before his death – he was preparing to hand to the Russian government as part of his effort to leave Britain and return to his motherland.

The photos, taken at the social Thursday Club in the 1950s, allegedly show Prince Philip at a party with other members and semi-naked women.

Previous reports have stated Prince Philip is fully-dressed in the photographs, which would not be described as pornographic by today’s standards.

Author Sokolov has now made astonishing claims that Russia’s one-time richest man had been killed over the photographs.

He claimed: “Later, Her Majesty’s secret services disposed of the oligarch because they did not need him any longer.

“Or, perhaps more likely, they feared or discovered that wily Berezovsky had made copies of the sensational photographs which he was preparing to push into the wrong hands.”

The theory you have about Berezovsky having dirt on Putin is wrong. Putin does not play well with oligarchs, they hate his guts, and they also put a bounty on his head with the Bratva. Whenever you hear some bell-end, so called "expert" on Russia in the Western media say Putin is in bed with oligarchs, you know this person doesn't know the first thing about Russia. He would also never agree to any false flag nonsense, certainly not to start the Chechen war, which was started by the US by funnelling Wahhabi jihadists into Chechnia to keep the Russians preoccupied. When Putin came to power the country was on the brink of a second collapse and was beginning to tear at the seams, yet again, not 10 years after it had happened previously already. Some regions even began to print their own currency already. The country was in terrible shape, every government institution was corrupt to the core, lawlessness and criminality ran amok, Russia was in no shape to start any war, they barely handled the first Chechen war, the second they were losing until Putin turned it around with the help of Kadyrov.

When he came to power, the position of the president was so pathetically weak, he could not stand up to the corrupt oligarchs. Remember who these people are, they came to power during a time of what could comfortably be described as anarchy. During anarchy, the survival of the fittest rules apply, these guys rose to the top, cheating, thieving and murdering their way up, they are no joke. So he couldn't restore the state by going after them. So he told them, you stay out of my way, I will stay out of yours, you start meddling in politics and you are fair game to me, which is exactly what happened to Berezovsky and later Khodorkovsky. The latter was described as one of the most dangerous people in not just Russia, but Europe, that is, before Putin went after him, after which he was hailed as a beacon of liberal reform inside Russia, being prosecuted because he is political opposition to Putin, which is a load of horsecrap. The biggest enemies Putin has are still within his own government, after 18 years of wrestling with them, he barely got control of 50-60% of the country, the rest is in the hands of the 5th columnists, who still think Russias future is in the West. Check out the Saker, he is an ex military analyst who has his finger on the pulse on inter Russian politics.

Berezovsky was killed in Britain, Litvinenko was killed in Britain, Skripal was "almost" killed in Britain, Russia is not responsible for any of this. The British elites have traditionally been even more Russophobic than the American ones, they do not need convincing to throw dirt at Russia. Theresa May has her hands full with Brexit, which is turning into an absolute disaster thanks to her incompetence, what better way to take the countries mind off of it, and eyes off of her, by producing an external enemy? "Oh hey, the Russians are hated by the Americans, whose backside we desperately need to stay in so we crawl even deeper inside it by throwing our own accusations at them." Litvinenko probably ran out of fumes after years of drip feeding the MI6 with information, so he decided to prove his usefulness once more by stealing Polonium 210 from Russia and poisoned himself in the attempt, which is only available in Russia, just FYI, again, "Russia must be responsible because the poison is theirs," horsecrap. Then he got an offer which he gladly accepted, your family will be compensated after you're gone, if you use what little time you have left to point the finger eastwards, which he did without hesitation. Like you said before, if Russia wanted him dead, he'd be dead, not exposed to TV cameras world wide 24 hours a day, telling tales of how Putin killed him. As good a theory as any of the ridiculous stuff the Brits presented.
